I AM researching a family member who in 1859 was a curate in a place called Coppsow.

Despite my best efforts, I cannot find this place. It was in Yorkshire but with such a big county, I don’t know where to start.

I am writing in the hope that someone may be able to help, which would be very much appreciated.
